Synchronizing the storage system and Active

Directory server

By default, the storage system obtains information about users and
groups from the Active Directory server every 30 minutes. You can
modify this setting as described in "Modifying the Active Directory
properties" on page 140.
If you add a new user or group to the Active Directory server and don't
want to wait until the next synchronization before assigning that user
or group to a shared folder, you can synchronize the storage system
and Active Directory server immediately. You should also do this if a
user's password changed on the Active Directory server and the user
can no longer access shared folders on the storage system.
To synchronize the storage system and Active Directory server:
1 In the navigation bar, click Users.
2 In the left pane, click either Users & Computers or Groups.
3 Click Synchronize.
The synchronization progress displays.
Notes:
Your storage system supports 256 users and 256 groups. If the
•
selected organizational unit on your Active Directory server
currently exceeds these maximums, the excess users or groups
will not be added to the storage system.
Do this
In the User name text box, enter the name of
a user who has privileges to access the Active
Directory tree.
In the Password text box, enter the password
associated with that user name.
This user name and password will be used to
obtain new user and group information from
the Active Directory server at every
synchronization.
